A shattered leg, kidney stones, and a lump diagnosed as hyperplasia. Times were tough, money was scarce, and the bills and frustrations were piling up. It was into this kind of stressed out life that God sent Todd and Sonja Burpo the interruption of a life-threatening illness and emergency surgery for their almost four-year old son Colton. An interruption that included his unforgettable journey to heaven.
How did they cope? And how can they help us keep thoughts of eternity in mind in the midst of our own overly busy, stressed out lives?
In fifty unique inspirational readings based on excerpts from their story, Todd and Sonja share their family’s responses and reactions to the Heaven Is for Real experience. They answer questions about what it’s like to struggle with and question God, to doubt, even get angry with Him. And offer new insights into what God might be doing with those interruptions he allows into our lives. Each reading closes with a scripture to provide biblical reinforcement of the ideas shared and a take-away thought or action point to help readers incorporate the reading's inspiration into daily life.
Keep the hope of heaven alive in your life. Heaven truly is for real, and it changes everything!
My wife told me about the Heaven is for real book, so I decided to check this follow up out! I understand where they are coming from as parents and the doubting they suffered about whether or not this was all real or just made up. I like how they opened each chapter with an exerpt from the Heaven Is For Real book and then go on to explain what has happened since and scripture to back it up. This is more of a devotional book than a novel in how to deal with things from finances to miscarriage.
It's kind of a guide, along with the Bible, on how we should live our life here on earth while we are awaiting the Lord's returning or for God to call us home. It is a very good read!
